The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the law and order in this refugee city is not as stable as the fish city controlled by the black market, compared to other refugee cities, the situation here is much better. At least you will not be harassed by gang members every day. There are many rules in Piancheng District, the only flaw is that there are too few supplies here.

I don't know if it's because of the secret restrictions of the Faran Empire, or because of the common agreement of various forces in Miria City. All in all, although the urban areas controlled by various forces do not restrict the refugees under their hands to enter the urban area managed by the medical team, they strictly restrict the entry of any food and other materials, and only allow the medical team to keep a very small amount of materials that can only be used by themselves. and medicines.

Although the medical school also tried to let some of its own people lurking in Miria City secretly transport some supplies and medicines, and even used a smuggling route controlled by itself, but the result was not ideal. Yes, even the smuggling routes were blocked.

In order to maintain the medicines needed for medical rescue, the medical team had to pick up the ancient herbal medicine that had been discarded for many years, use local materials, and concoct some daily medicines to barely meet the needs of the refugees.

However, for the refugees, they are naturally grateful to be able to receive free medical assistance from the medical team, but just curing their illnesses does not allow them to continue to live in this difficult world. They also need food and other daily items, so most of them just use the urban area under the jurisdiction of the medical team as an intermediate resting point, and few refugees are permanently stationed here.

The transformed human killer obviously has some reputation in this refugee city, and everyone who saw him nodded to him, but at the same time, it is not difficult to see that these people have a strong fear of the transformed human killer, and they nodded to say hello After that, I avoided him from a distance, not daring to approach him.

The cyborg killer skillfully walked between the temporary huts and tents, and soon came to a free clinic opened by a medical team on the edge of the city.

This free clinic was built in a collapsed five-story building. Because there were several connected rooms on the first floor that were relatively well preserved, the medical team had people break through the walls of these rooms and converted them into a free clinic.

There are more than 50 free clinics like this in the entire urban area. At the beginning, each clinic was equipped with two doctors and three nurses, but as time went by, some doctors and nurses could not stand the hard life here, Those who left can barely maintain the normal operation of the more than 50 free clinics. As for the expansion plan that the medical team entered Miria City at the beginning, it was also invalidated.

The doctor in charge of this free clinic is called Jeff Thompson. He is not from the Villen continent, but a descendant of new immigrants from the southern Mozambique continent.

When steam machinery entered the traditional manual manufacturing industry, it was not the commodities produced by these manufacturing industries that were most affected, but the manual workers who produced these commodities. The iron rice bowl that they thought they could hold for a lifetime had decayed and shattered in an instant. Having lost their jobs, they had to find a new livelihood, and the great reclamation movement to the southern Mozambique continent was the only way out they could choose.

Many of these people who went to the south to open up wasteland died in the dangerous wasteland and forest, and only a few of them were able to gain a firm foothold and thrive. Jeff Thompson's family is such a thriving pioneer family .

For a pioneer family like them, if they want to survive in such a harsh environment as the wasteland, they need to know a lot of life-saving herbal medicine. Every pioneer family has some unique secret recipes. .

Jeff Thomson studied herbal medicine in his family since he was a child. After entering the medical school, he also specialized in this area of ​​knowledge. He has participated in the revision of the herbal medicine part of medical classics many times, so he has a certain amount of knowledge in the medical school and around the world. prestige.

Also because of the special situation in Miria City, the medical school had to send him, a medical master who is proficient in ancient herbal medicine, to Miria City to sit in charge.

It's just that, for the ordinary Miria city refugees, they don't know the identity of Jeff Thompson, just from Jeff Thompson's unkempt appearance and some unacceptable medical treatment methods , thinking that the medical level of this doctor is not very good, so the clinic where this master of herbal medicine is located rarely sees a doctor.

When the cyborg killer arrived, an injured scavenger was being sent here. As the healer, Jeff Thompson sewed up the scavenger's wound roughly with a needle and thread, and then grabbed a handful of the scavenger just now. The collected herbs were chewed in his mouth, spit out, and applied to the wound.

I don't know if Jeff Thompson's hand was too hard, or because of the herbal medicine itself, the scavenger screamed in pain, and passed out on the spot. It's not that he has a certain understanding of Jeff Thompson, I'm afraid he has already rushed to check on the situation of his companions.

"Before the wound heals, don't let him get wet, and change the dressing after three days." Jeff Thompson simply bandaged the wound, and then gave instructions to the wounded companion, indicating that they can leave.

After hearing Jeff Thompson's words, the scavengers who had been sitting on pins and needles hurried forward to set up their companions on the table, thanked them, and fled away from the clinic as if there was something terrible in this room. The monster in general.

"This set of battlefield medical technology is really good. With my herbal medicine, the success rate of treatment can reach more than 80%. If it was before, the survival rate of 40% would be very good." Jie said. Fo Thomson was talking to himself while packing up the first aid kits in his hands. The assassin next to him didn't answer, but just stood there quietly, like a statue.

After packing up the tools, Jeff Thompson closed the door of the clinic, then gestured to the killer of the modified man, walked into the bedroom, pushed away a small table, lifted a wooden shelf under the table to reveal A small secret passage leading to the basement.

The two followed the secret passage to the buried basement of the building. Except for one corner of the basement that collapsed, the rest of the basement was well preserved. Because the basement has two floors, the space here is much larger than the outside room, but because of the serious water accumulation problem, the space that can be used is only a small part of the first floor near the clinic.

After Jeff Thompson came to the basement, several candlesticks on the surrounding walls were lit, and the cyborg killer walked to the operating table, put down his backpack, took out Roger Rabbit's head from it, and placed it on the operating table.

Jeff Thompson came over with an oil lamp, picked up the head and looked at the flame, confirmed the identity of the owner of the head, and said, "Are you sure he is going to betray us?"

"When he left, he took away the urgent cash check and the account book we traded with." The killer of the modified man knew the situation and behavior of Roger the Hare very well. Obviously, the medical school monitored Roger. It has been a long time since the movement, and he even knows his character very well, predicting the possibility of his defection.

Jeff Thompson couldn't help but frowned after hearing what the cyborg killer said, with a troubled look on his face. The reason why he was troubled was not because of Roger Hare's defection, but because if there was one less slave trader to provide the test items, some of the experiments he was conducting that had already been launched might have to be stopped to give another important thing a try. Things give way.

Just when Jeff Thompson was thinking about how to protect his test product from degrading, the cyborg killer added: "After I killed him, I checked his items and found no cash checks and That account book, it is estimated that someone has done it before me."

"The account book is lost?" Jeff Thompson was stunned, pondered for a moment, and then said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, I have also read part of the content of this account book, and there is no direct evidence in it to prove that we are involved in human trafficking. If there is no trouble at the academy, we will have nothing."

As he spoke, Jeff Thompson casually threw the head in his hand into the stagnant water in the basement ahead. After the bloody head fell into the water, the originally calm water immediately boiled like hot oil in a frying pan. , A large number of creatures whose shape could not be seen drilled out of the water, gnawing on the head frantically, within a minute, the flesh and flesh of the head was eaten away, leaving only a pale skull, slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing this scene, both of them seemed to be used to it, but Leo, who was the monitor, was extremely shocked, and even showed an unbelievable expression on his face.

Because when the aquatic creatures stocked in the basement were not active, his mental network could not perceive their existence, but when they were active, he could feel a spiritual symbiosis with a spiritual level as high as three .

In the universe where the Earth Federation is located, the rarity of psychic symbionts is second only to Omega-level advanced creatures, and the life forms of psychic symbionts are also different, such as the Anka Zerg known as the disaster of the universe .

In addition, there is an accepted conclusion of the psychic symbiosis, that is, no matter what kind of psychic symbionts are given enough time and space to grow, they will eventually be able to grow trans-omega-level advanced creatures without exception.

Although Leo has never seen a psychic symbiosis, he knows how to identify a psychic symbiosis. It is recorded in almost all books related to basic psychic power, that is, the psychic power possessed by all members of the psychic symbiosis. They are all of the same wave frequency, and they merge with each other. Under the perception of the spirit net, there will be an illusion of just one biological body.

However, after being shocked, Leo took a closer look at the psychic symbiosis and compared all the information about the psychic symbiosis in his brain.

At this moment, his attention was completely attracted by this sudden discovery, and he didn't even pay attention to the next conversation between Jeff Thompson and the mutant killer until the two left the basement and returned to the clinic. I just noticed it a little bit.

I saw that the two people walked out of the clinic, closed the door again, and walked past Leo who was sitting against the wall. As they passed by, Leo left a psychic mark on them.

If it was before the discovery of the psychic symbiosis, Leo would definitely continue to follow the two of them, and find out more information from them about what the medical school is doing now, but for Leo now, the end of the plague The ring is far less important than the psionic symbiote.

At least those who have a little understanding of psychic knowledge are very clear about what a psychic symbiont that has not fully grown represents to any psychic. Some people even directly use the Omega-level advanced creature pass to describe psychic power. symbiont.

As long as the psyker devours the psionic net made by the psionic symbiosis, he can create his own psionic net. By then, he can create as many psionic nodes as there are descendants of the devoured psionic symbiosis. And each psionic energy node is equivalent to a psionic energy core, so that psyker will no longer have to worry about the consumption of psionic energy. As long as he doesn't exhaust all the psionic energy of all psionic nodes at the same time, then his psionic energy can be quickly restored under the effect of psionic resonance between the nodes.

Infinite psychic power alone is not enough to make psykers attach so much importance to psychic symbiosis. The biggest function of the psionic network constructed by using psychic symbiosis is to allow psykers to become Omega-level advanced creatures without any obstacles .

No matter how outstanding a psyker's talent is, whether he is a natural psyker or not, their psychic level will encounter a bottleneck called evolutionary barrier almost every third level.

There was no way in the universe at the time to help psykers overcome this obstacle. All psykers have different methods of passing this obstacle. There is no skill, and it has nothing to do with talent. It seems to rely more on luck.

Just like Leo, he originally thought that he would be stuck at the third level of psychic power for a long time, but now he somehow crossed this evolutionary obstacle and successfully became a fourth level psychic user. Can not escape the help of good luck.

But the psychic symbiosis is so domineering. The psychic network it helps the psykers to build does not require any luck or skill. It only needs to accumulate and use psionic energy for a long time like other psychic symbiosis. That's right, a psyker with a psionic net can unknowingly cross evolutionary obstacles one by one, and eventually become an Omega-level advanced creature.

In Leo's view, the senior doctor of the medical school obviously didn't know the details of the psychic symbiosis, and just stocked it in the basement as a tool for dealing with failed experiments. People who don't understand anything are polite, and they already regard this psionic symbiosis as their own in their hearts.
